Single Disclosed Price Caps Hancock June Deed Data at $50,000

HANCOCK -- Four property deeds recorded in Hancock between June 12 and July 11, 2026, yielded just one disclosed consideration amount, leaving a limited picture of local market conditions for the period.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Four deeds were recorded in Hancock during the roughly 30-day window ending July 11. Of those, only one -- 88 Potter Mountain Road, which transferred June 15 for $50,000 -- carried a stated consideration amount. The remaining three transactions recorded without a disclosed price.

With a single disclosed data point, a conventional price range and median cannot be calculated; $50,000 stands as the only known benchmark for the period. Four recorded transfers over approximately four weeks is a modest volume for a small rural community, though deed data captures only completed, recorded transactions -- not listings, pending contracts, or closings not yet filed -- and recording delays can affect any given snapshot.

Low price-disclosure rates are common in Massachusetts deed data, particularly when transfers involve financial institutions, homeowners or resort associations, or conveyances that do not reflect open-market sales. All three non-priced transfers in this dataset share at least one of those characteristics.

TOP SALES

Only one transaction in this period carries a disclosed sale price.

88 Potter Mountain Road sold June 15 for $50,000. The grantors of record are Francis Derby and Racheal Derby; the grantee is Navy Federal Credit Union. Transfers in which a federally chartered credit union or bank appears as the purchasing party -- rather than as lender -- can reflect a range of deed instruments; the recorded deed does not specify the nature of the transaction. Navy Federal Credit Union is a large federal credit union primarily serving current and former military personnel and their families.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

The four recorded transfers are distributed across three distinct address locations, with one entry lacking a standard street address in the deed data.

Potter Mountain Road saw one transfer this period -- the sole priced transaction at $50,000.

Hancock Road recorded one deed on June 12, price not disclosed. The grantor is Greylock Federal Credit Union, a North Adams-based institution; the grantees are Trina Goodrich and William Goodrich. When a credit union or bank appears as grantor in a residential property conveyance, the transfer can follow a foreclosure or other lender-involved process, though the deed record does not characterize the transaction.

Hemlock Village recorded one transfer on June 12, price not disclosed. John C. Martin III and Patricia W. Martin are listed as grantors. A buyer of record was not present in the available dataset.

A fourth transfer, recorded June 22 without a standard street address in the data, conveyed a property from Nderim S. Selmani and Irmis Selmani to Vacation Village in the Berkshires Owners Association Inc. Vacation Village in the Berkshires is an established resort community with timeshare and vacation-ownership units in Hancock; transfers to or from the owners association are typically non-market conveyances and do not reflect open residential sales activity.

MARKET NOTES

Two of the four recorded deeds involve financial institutions as either grantor or grantee -- Greylock Federal Credit Union as seller on Hancock Road, Navy Federal Credit Union as buyer on Potter Mountain Road. The proportion is notable within a four-transfer period, though the small sample limits broader interpretation.

The Vacation Village transfer suggests at least a portion of deed activity during this window represents resort or vacation-ownership community transactions rather than traditional residential sales. Hancock's inventory of timeshare and vacation-ownership units at Vacation Village can generate deed recordings that are distinct from the open residential market.

Beds, baths, and square footage are not available from deed records; per-square-foot analysis is not possible for this period.
